Thanks to Brandon and the guys over at Eternal Armory, I got an awesome deal on a B-stock Westar 35! Here it is getting all primered up in preparation for bondo, more primer, then black, grey, and red paint:
Also working on my rifle and hand plate, need more feedback for my chest plates (I'll try medium plates and see how they fit).
I'll update this post as the weaponry work advances. And time for a pic dump:
The warzone:
Bondo:
Primer magic (all the holes and divots are gone!):
Shiny:
and it disappears....
to a nice dark grey:
Needs some work though, the humidity is making it take a zillion years to dry
Sorry for the terrible flash, but here's it with my rifle, which needs the stock painted (I'm thinking the same grey as the pistol, to contrast a bit with the rest of the rifle):
I'm going to add a chopped off mag to the rifle, and the stock and maybe the bipod will be attached (all branding will be removed). I may add some glossy black stripes around the muzzle for a cool effect, and perhaps some red, but I don't think the gun needs it. Anything else I should to to get it looking more swarzy? (And BTW, the safety and trigger still work on the rifle, I filled in the English lettering, and all the guts of the arisoft gun have been stripped out and epoxied.
And that's the sum of my work over the weekend.
